Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn it up
Turn it up

Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up

Came to here to smoke but the vibe here is a joke
Turn it up

We're doing our best, we have just one request
Turn it up

If the steam cook can take it
You better give us some more
Got to keep the people on the floor

Hey (Landlord)
Now what you want?
Could you please turn that up?

Bringing up the pleasure
But the music ain't there
Turn it up
The night is almost through
So what you gonna do?
Turn it up

If the steam cook can take it
You better give us some more
Got to keep the people on the floor

Young man could you please turn that up?
Turn it up
Turn it up
Turn it up

We know when you want it
We know when you need it babe, babe
And you wanna dance

We know when you want it
We know when you need it babe, babe
And you wanna dance

Turn it up

Turn it up
Turn it up
Turn it up
Turn it up

Please me, don't tease me
Just turn it to the max
Please me, don't tease me
Just turn it to the max
Please me, don't tease me
Just turn it to the max
Please me, don't tease me
Just turn it to the max

We support the wild life
So let's throw a party

Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up

Turn it, got to turn it up
Turn it, got to turn it up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Conway Brothers' "Turn It Up" are centered around the need to turn up the volume of the music in order to create a more engaging and entertaining atmosphere for the people in attendance. The song begins with the singer expressing their dissatisfaction with the current vibe in the room as they came to smoke, but instead are met with "a joke". They then request to the landlord to turn up the music, stating that "we're doing our best" but they need the music to make the night better.

The chorus is comprised of the repeated phrase "Turn it up", emphasizing the need for the volume to be increased. The line "If the steam cook can take it, You better give us some more" suggests that the music needs to be loud enough to keep people on the dance floor. The singer speaks directly to a young man, asking them to turn up the volume so they can dance.

The second verse continues to emphasize the need for the music to be turned up, as the singer states that the "music ain't there" and that the night is almost over, so something needs to change. They plead with the listener to turn up the music to the max and not to tease them. The final part of the song is a repeated plea to turn up the volume, with the added line "We support the wild life, so let's throw a party".
